A damaged frame can compromise your vehicle’s safety and performance. Our certified technicians use advanced equipment to assess and restore your vehicle’s structural integrity — ensuring it drives straight, aligns properly, and protects you like it should.
At Santa Ana Body Shop, we use the industry-leading Car-O-Liner frame straightening system to restore your vehicle’s structural integrity with pinpoint accuracy. Whether it’s a minor misalignment or major frame damage, this advanced technology allows our technicians to measure, pull, and correct the frame to factory specifications. Our process ensures your vehicle is safe, aligned, and performs as intended — because we believe precision is non-negotiable when it comes to your safety.
Modern vehicles rely on precise measurements to keep their structure stable and safe. That’s why we use computerized diagnostic tools to scan your vehicle’s frame before and after repairs. This technology identifies misalignments down to the millimeter, ensuring no hidden structural issues go unnoticed. By comparing your vehicle’s frame to original manufacturer specifications, we guarantee a repair that meets strict factory standards.
After frame repairs are complete, we perform a detailed safety inspection to verify that every component is aligned, secure, and functioning correctly. This includes suspension checks, alignment verification, weld strength review, and sensor calibration if needed. Our final inspection ensures your vehicle handles properly, drives straight, and is fully safe to return to the road — giving you complete confidence in every mile ahead.
We’ve gathered the most common questions our customers ask – and provided straightforward answers to make the repair process easier to understand.
Frame damage isn’t always visible. Signs may include uneven gaps between panels, doors not closing properly, vibration while driving, or the vehicle pulling to one side. At Santa Ana Body Shop, we perform a full structural inspection and digital measurement scan to confirm whether frame damage is present.
Yes. Using our Car-O-Liner frame straightening system and manufacturer repair procedures, we can restore most frames to factory specifications. In many cases, the vehicle becomes just as safe and structurally sound as it was before the accident.
The timeline depends on the severity of the damage and parts needed. Minor frame adjustments may take a day or two, while major structural repairs can take several days. After your inspection, we’ll provide a clear and accurate estimate of the repair time.
Properly repaired frame damage typically does not affect resale value, especially when repairs are done using OEM procedures and digital measurements. We document all frame work performed and ensure the vehicle meets safety and alignment standards before returning it to you.
